  "account": "Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the North African coast, has captured over 100 migrants from Morocco, according to the Moroccan Interior Ministry. This incident occurred after social media calls for a large-scale border crossing. The detainees included 109 migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa and two Moroccans, as reported by the Moroccan Interior Ministry. The Spanish news agency EFE stated that Moroccan police used tear gas to disperse groups of migrants in the hills about three kilometers from the border. Additionally, Moroccan Interior Ministry officials instructed Spanish state broadcaster TVE journalists to leave the Moroccan border city of Fnideq immediately. Spanish police patrolled the streets of Ceuta. Madrid has deployed a barrier at sea and over 500 additional police personnel from the mainland, bringing the total number of personnel in the enclave to over 1600. Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said, \"We will continue to deploy the necessary personnel to restore normalcy as soon as possible and prevent a recurrence of the events of July 30th.\" According to the minister, migrants without legal status would be sent back to Morocco. As of now, around 5000 migrants remain in Ceuta.",
